Pros

Diverse company - many job opportunities worldwide for certain disciplines. Very interesting work and people.

Cons

All the negatives of a large company - too many layers of management and potential for micro management. Not much accountability for poor management decisions at higher levels which impact company. i.e. pushing certain major capital projects which have wide range of risks.

Pros

The people at Chevron are great and overall it's a pretty good company - decent benefits and company culture. The 9/80 work schedule is a great perk. It has struggled to stay competitive with other big employers in California though.

Cons

Leadership has become increasingly out of touch, with regular re-organizations, lay-offs, and offshoring of support/operation functions disrupting day-to-day work and making processes even more slow and bureaucratic. Overall most employees are still wonderful to work with, but the constant leadership mantra of "do more with less" and removal of flexible/hybrid work has definitely reduced morale and made Chevron just another job, whereas it used to be a genuinely enjoyable place to work.
